After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Suns 110-95. Every possession went the Rockets way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
