The Houston Rockets defeated the Phoenix Suns 119–105 on April 7 at Footprint Center, with the visitors' balanced attack overwhelming a Phoenix offense that struggled for consistency. Kevin Durant led Houston with 24 points, supported by Alperen Şengün's 22 points, while Devin Booker's 31-point effort proved insufficient for the Suns. Houston's three-point barrage proved decisive—the Rockets made 14 threes compared to Phoenix's seven—and their 55 rebounds to Phoenix's 34 represented a commanding glass advantage. The Rockets shot 45 percent from the field and generated 26 assists on 119 points, reflecting efficient ball movement, while Phoenix managed just 42.7 percent shooting and 15 assists on 105 points. Houston's fourth-quarter explosion (38 points) sealed the outcome after the Suns mounted only a 20-point second quarter. The game fell below the Vegas total of 221.5, as Houston's defensive rating of 104.8 clamped down on Phoenix's offensive rating of 104.8. The victory strengthens Houston's positioning heading into the final stretch of the season.
