After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns ran roughshod over the Rockets 138-110. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
