Suns beat Rockets 102-99 in a clutch-time win in Phoenix, according to SB Nation's recap.
SB Nation and Bright Side of the Sun, both fan blogs, call it a statement win over a Houston team that swept the season series last year, and they credit the Suns' energy and defensive intensity. Bright Side of the Sun's recap lists the final as 102-98, so the margin is reported inconsistently. The Dream Shake, a Rockets fan blog, reports Minnesota beat Houston 117-107 on Nov. 4, with Alperen Sengun posting a triple-double.
