The Rockets have lost six straight games after falling to the NBA-best Suns in Phoenix, 124-121. All five starters scored in double figures, led by Dennis Schroder's 23 points and nine assists. Eric Gordon chipped in 20 points but missed the potential game-tying three-pointer with time expiring. Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Junior didn't play due to illness. Houston led by as many as 12 points in the first half and held its lead through three quarters before being outscored by Phoenix in the final frame. The Rockets fall to 15-and-42 and visit the Clippers tonight for their final game before the All-Star break.
