After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Suns 138-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
