The biggest problem with this game was that the Rockets' defensive performance was very poor, especially in the first three quartersSunsAlways maintaining an efficient offensive state, the Rockets have always been suppressed by their opponents.
The Rockets' defense needs to be improved. In this game, they were unable to limit effectivelySuns, creating many scoring opportunities for opponents. This also reflects the Rockets' collective awareness and coordination on the defensive end of the floor.
In this game, the Rockets' Shin Kyung still maintained his consistent scoring ability, and although his three-point shooting percentage dropped, he still scored 24 points with a 9-of-19 stat. Shin Kyung has become a consistent scorer for the team, and his shooting accuracy is satisfactory, contributing a lot of points to the team.

Van Vleet had a remarkable performance in this game. First of all, on the offensive end, his decision-making was a bit inexplicable, with too many dribbling and basically only passing to Shin Kyung, causing the offense to lose its variety. Secondly, his shooting percentage dropped, and the 4-of-11 stat was undoubtedly a disappointing performance. VanVleet needs to rethink his style of play and improve his shooting accuracy.
Holiday didn't show effective passing and playmaking in this game, and he kept shooting frequently, but his shooting percentage was poor, and he was just 4-of-13 from the field, which was desperate. The team needs him to adapt better to the team tactics and play to his potential.
In this game, Smith, the main core of the Rockets, left the court with an injury, and he can make important contributions to the team in defense and rebounding. His injury left the Rockets lacking consistency and defensive ability at the front. The team needs to keep an eye on his injury and make sure he returns as soon as possible.

In addition, his consistency on the offensive end and the balance of attack and defense in the forward line are also indispensable for the team.
