Billy Donovan said there was a feeling in the locker room that the starting lineup needed to change after the Phoenix team. He said the team is “prideful” and was very frustrated by that Suns loss. – 12:49 AM

Warriors beat the Bulls, move to 10-1 at Chase Center, tied for the league’s best home record with the Cavaliers. Scattered fourth quarter, but they controlled most of the night. Jordan Poole: 30 points off the bench in 23 minutes, made seven 3s. Rockets in SF tomorrow. – 12:35 AM

The only thing worth being remotely concerned over from tonight’s bad loss is the injury bug adding Mikal to the list. Otherwise, stressing over timeouts or rotations in a fluke December L without CP3, Cam Johnson and Torrey Craig (not to mention Jae) feels like an overreaction – 12:25 AM

I don’t get the frustration over Monty not calling a timeout there. That’s usually what he does in those situations, not allowing an opponent to set their defense. The ball still winds up in Devin Booker’s hands in either scenario, the shots just didn’t fall tonight – 11:52 PM

You can debate who is and isn’t part of the #Rockets future, but in my view, Jalen & Jabari are the surefire core players and their progress should be top priority. Tonight was the best game of the year for that. – 11:48 PM

Monty Williams said the Suns’ force just wasn’t there in keeping the Rockets out of the paint to limit the second-chance points and free throws. Had to go to switching late because of that. – 11:40 PM

Gritty win for the young Rockets.
Jalen Green looks like a completely different player than this time last year, particularly how he’s seemingly getting to the free line at will.
Also, it looks like Jabari Smith is actually a good three-point shooter. Who knew? – 11:34 PM

Saric 0-for-5 FGs (0-for-4 on 3s) tonight.
Playing the four puts him a place where he must play on perimeter.
He can hit 3s, but his advantage is at the five in a small ball lineup so he can play in the post some.
Step slow defending four. Curious if he starts 2nd half. #Suns – 10:06 PM

Monty Williams said Torrey Craig’s groin strain happened in the game Wednesday, and he came in the next day feeling sore and got it checked out. Craig was bummed to have to miss tonight’s game, but Monty said they’re hopeful to get him back soon. – 7:19 PM
