The Phoenix Suns came out swinging against the Houston Rockets but fall 119-111.
A big game from Kevin Durant (37 points) and Bol Bol (15 points) kept the Suns energized throughout, even as things started to fall apart around them. With Collin Gillespie stepping in to run the offense and TyTy Washington knocking down clutch shots, the Suns found a balance of youth and veteran leadership.
