After this battle, three indisputable facts and two surprises emerged. Three indisputable facts:

1. The Rockets' stability is truly the best in the game. They were able to lead the whole game even in Durant's absence. Their defense also did a good job in limiting the Suns' scoring. In the end, they won 114-92. The victory was truly deserved.

2. Amen Thompson's all-round performance is really the key to the Rockets' victory. The dazzling data of 28 points + 7 rebounds + 8 assists is the best manifestation of his core role.

3. Except for Dillon Brooks (29 points) and Gillespie (16 points), the Suns' other players generally scored sluggishly, especially Booker, who made only 5 of 13 shots and made 6 turnovers. They really relied too much on individual players to attack tough problems. Such offensive efficiency problems are too fatal.

Two unexpected points:

1. The Suns made a total of 17 turnovers in the game (far more than the Rockets' 12). Among them, Goodwin made many key mistakes. The team's frequent passing or dribbling errors were directly converted into counterattack scores by the Rockets, and the original rigorous offensive rhythm was frequently interrupted.

2. Rockets substitute Holiday had a mediocre performance before this season, but he broke out in this game. He made 6 of 10 three-pointers and scored 22 points. Especially in the first quarter, he hit 3 three-pointers. He was a scoring miracle in this game. #creationtrainingcampisopened#
