After Action Report
The Suns buried the Rockets 118-78. Suns torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
