The Suns demolished the Rockets 118-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Suns looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
