The Suns lost to the Rockets Friday, 104-103, in an exciting game and a perfect offering to the tanking gods.
Josh Jackson and Tyler Ulis kept up their solid play, many of the other youngsters set an energetic tone Houston could not match most of the night, and the Suns nearly eked out a victory on the road against the league’s best team.
The Rockets decided to rest Chris Paul after resting James Harden on Tuesday against Chicago, which is an insane thing to be able to do for a NBA team.
