Short-handed Rockets fall to Phoenix Suns 124-121

HOUSTON — Fresh off a 34-point defeat at the hands of the Utah Jazz on Monday, no one gave the Rockets a chance to end their five-game losing streak against the Phoenix Suns.

ESPN’s Basketball Power Index gave the Rockets less than a 10 percent chance to record a victory inside the Footprint Center Wednesday night, stating it was nearly impossible for Houston to complete an improbable upset against Phoenix. Although the Rockets would go on to extend their losing streak to six in a 124-121 loss to the Suns, Phoenix’s win over Houston did not come easy.
