Houston Rockets Secure Victory Over Suns With Late Surge

Amen Thompson's triple-double and balanced scoring lead the Rockets past a short-handed Phoenix Suns team in a 119-111 win.

Amen Thompson recorded his fourth career triple-double with 18 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds, marking his second triple-double this month.
Tari Eason led the Rockets with 25 points, while Jalen Green added 22 points and Dillon Brooks hit crucial late-game 3-pointers to seal the win.
Kevin Durant delivered a standout performance for the Suns with 37 points and nine assists, but Phoenix struggled without key players Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Grayson Allen.
The Rockets capitalized on Phoenix's mistakes, scoring 28 points off 18 turnovers and converting 17 offensive rebounds into 19 second-chance points.
The Rockets face the Golden State Warriors next, while the Suns aim to rebound against the San Antonio Spurs, both games occurring on Thursday night before the All-Star break.
