The Rockets earned their 30th win of the season in Phoenix tonight, defeating the Suns 112-95.
The Rockets were without six potential players tonight: James Harden, Clint Capela, Nene, Tarik Black, Troy Williams, and Zhou Qi. Houston seriously only had eight guys suit up tonight and Mike D’Antoni only played seven for majority of the game. Briante Weber, the eighth man, played the last six minutes in the fourth quarter, where the Rockets never led by less than 20 points.
Chris Paul has stepped up with his teammates sidelined and has taken on more of a leadership role.
