Rockets' Kevin Durant and Suns' Devin Booker

The Phoenix Suns did not do much to inspire confidence Tuesday, blowing a 21-point first quarter lead in a 119-105 loss to the Houston Rockets.

Suns blow 21-point lead in home loss to rockets

Things unraveled for the Suns, who were outscored, 98-68, from the second through fourth quarters.

Phoenix’s efforts were led by 31 points from Devin Booker, but it was far from enough as Houston chipped away at the deficit it faced. The Rockets dominated the glass and had a balanced attack led by 24 points from Kevin Durant.

With the loss, the Suns fall to 43-36 on the season and are officially locked into the Play-In Tournament, but they have yet to secure the seventh seed.
