Rockets @ Suns Monday game thread 4-12-2021

[Mainstreet]

Coming up the Suns play back-to-back games. On Monday the Rockets visit and on Tuesday the Heat come to town.

Rockets are 14-39 and 2-8 in their last ten games.

Although the Rockets have lost their last two games they gave the Suns a tough game on April 5th and beat the Mavericks on April 7th so they are capable of playing well.

Suns are 37-15 and 8-2 in their last ten games. They are coming off a 134-106 win over the Wizards on Saturday.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is listed at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

that's good. I was looking at their schedule and wondering who the hell was going to be their next loss. the Celtics looked like the best opportunity for a L for a while.

The Nuggets were looking pretty invincible. I'm hoping they come back down to earth.

Their toughest upcoming game within a week is probably against the Heat on Wednesday.

Speaking of the Heat. I gotta admit, I think the unis and court look really cool, but it looks like it might be really disorienting to players.

I can't speak for the players but I find the Heat uniforms a distraction.

It's the way they seem to change color under the lighting... almost a chameleon effect.

Sterling Brown is out for the Rockets.

The uniforms might be ok, but the court and the uniforms together make the game very hard to watch, and I'm someone who liked the Uniforms by themselves.

Almost time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae Crowder opens the scoring with a 3-pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns defense is lackluster early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rockets leading 17-15 with timeout at 6:36 in 1st.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder is hot from three (3-4).

 

[Mainstreet]

Augustin is being helped off the court as it looks like he turned his ankle.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 38 - Rockets 29

Craig's basket was taken off.
