After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Rockets 120-112. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
