Booker, Suns outlast Rockets to set up back-to-back showdowns vs. Jazz, Clippers

First-year Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas started his praise of the Phoenix Suns with giving props to the person he admires in the coaching profession.

Monty Williams.

"He's someone who I look up to as a coach," Silas said. "He's a mentor of mine and someone who I speak with quite a bit and that's how I would like to see our group grow. The thing about him is he does it the right way."

At age 49, Williams doesn't think he's old enough to be a mentor, but appreciates Silas' glowing comments about him and his team.
