Phoenix Suns' Cameron Payne goes to the basket as Houston Rockets' Josh Christopher looks on during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, in Phoenix. PHOENIX — The Rockets were right there, with a chance, a few shots from catching the sort of team they hope to grow up to become.
The Suns, having been in those situations more than Rockets players have been in NBA games, responded in the predictable, if initially lucky ways. The Rockets had kept it that close with loads of the hustle that was lacking for too long on Friday, scoring 27 second-chance points in the first 45 minutes, and defending the paint far better than in the first half.
They ran their offense, caught the Rockets in switches, and passed into the paint where they feasted.
