Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets Full Game Highlights 2nd Qtr | Dec 5 | 2025 NBA Highlights

six against Houston and scored eight points off of it. Now, this same team, the Rockets, without Kevin Durant, last year obviously struggled big time from the field and their shooting, right? And so, we want to see if these same guys can continue to knock it down like they did last game, but can’t give Reed Shepard that kind of run to the rim as Suns close that first quarter on a 199 scoring run. They’ll start this second frame with Jordan Goodwin, Jamar Bouet, Klesby Oso Gdaro and Nigel Hayes Davis as loose ball off of Phoenix. Oh, KD off the floor. Shenon not playing right. This is when you need to improve your lead. Yeah. Sun’s biggest lead in their first meeting was two. So already a bigger advantage as Shepard. Beautiful pocket pass into the slashing Amen Thompson like they’ve been caught off guard with Killespie but what Shepard has been able to do defensively he’s quick he’s quick man and he’s got quick hands and and again look he’s playing with like always he’s still looking over his shoulder. Yeah. you know, because obviously a lot of people looking at the the level pick that he was as a disappointment and a lot of times you don’t need to go one way. You’re going to go north or south and right now he’s headed north. Lesby sees an opening probes that Houston defense trying to shake from Capella who’s down in the paints. Fouay driving on Shepard with the ball of contact up off the window. Ace Davis Thompson outside trying to work past Gillespie. All right, Colin has proven it’s not as easy as it might look as he is constantly able to stand his ground. Make him shoot over the top of a tough reverse. Can’t connect. I’m shocked that Capella said, “I’m going to earn this rebound.” U gets a screen, passes up the three ball. He slips inside going right at Capella. Suns get it back. active hands defensively again. Booyah with a ball fake with the left hand finish. Layup line for Booya again. Lay it up young fella. See already s with four steals average leads nearly 11 per game. And I talked to some people in regards to the Sun. And you know, obviously JJ Reic has gone public and said it. You don’t play hard, you got problems. Yeah. And and this is what Houston right now is battling. They feel like they want to just walk it out and just win. And it’s not going to happen with this ball club. They’re going to outwork you. Well, look, their their win Wednesday over Sacramento was their seventh victory by 20 points or more. Guys say it all the time. You guys who played the game is there’s only one way to get into NBA condition and that’s play NBA games as Durant scores a three ball. Yeah, it came off too clean there. You got to really communicate. Put a hand in his face. KD shooting 37%. Pocket pass. Gillespie hangs inside and wait one to see him get to the free ready for it. If he’s got one, you’ve got three. I believe I got Man, I got one that’s going to make you laugh. Trust me. Let’s swing it over to Amanda. Guys, you were just talking about that G-League experience and coach weighed in on the performances of Kaman and Rashier saying that they took steps in the right direction just being in those competitive environments and end of game situations. They’re playing the right way and they’re getting extended run. EJ, you mentioned that he said there’s only so many reps that you can take against coaches or threeon-ree situations. You need the full totality of it to know exactly where you’re at and they’re getting that right now. Shepard on the drive and the payoff pass to Gabella. A three-time turnover. It leads to buckets. Oso’s got to catch that. Brooks on the turnaround. Can’t connect that. Booya tried to keep it alive for Phoenix, but it’s Jabari Smith Jr. quickly in the hands of Durant. Katy on the drive on the flush. Royce Kevin kind of really sold out on that play. You know, when Katie is coming down the court like that, he is looking to get all the way to the rim. Nine points now for Durant in his 12 minutes. Gillespie run off the three-point line by Holiday. Bouet sets up shot in the corner. Friendly rims. Yes, that’s nice. Christmas is coming up. The season of giving says, “I’ll take it.” Seven points in his four minutes. this continuing to make an impact both end of the floor. Anytime he’s out there, you’re looking for KD now. You got to really just make somebody else take shots. O’Neal extends the defense on Smith Jr. He tries to get baseline. Cut off there by Igodaro. Suns with a rebound. Brooks working on Durant. Gets the screen. He’ll step back. Three ball on the way. No. Shepard pulls down the board of the board to Durant. Pass inside of Capella. Knocked away by Brooks. The Rockets as Mark Williams and Grayson Allen at 23 minutes Monday against the Lakers. I have a good comment here. You allow me another com stacking the good on good right it on the drive. He will try to get going here. Pass up top to Williams who’s able to control and get it down. You know, he normally likes to dunk it, right? He just knew he was going to get hit by Adams. He flicks it off the back. Yeah. And he has been a dunking machine as that pass redirected and finds itself into the hands of Holiday. He scores the corner three. Back to Brooks on the crossover. Gets into Adams. Tripped away by Holiday. Rockets on the run. Durant kind of bobbled. Create space and gets the end. Probably 10 12 points based on turnovers or long rebounds. And the Suns not quick to get back. 10 of his 14 have come here in the second frame for Durant. Allen driving. Little hesitation up top to Williams. And that ball kind of whipped. Williams controls into the hands of Booay. Brook has got the mismatch of the smaller Holiday. And now we’ll get 602 on the game clock here. Allen on a drive. Swings it out to O’Neal. Step back three on the way. No. Williams fighting for it. Taps it once. twice, but it’s Smith who comes away with it for Houston. Thompson put on the gas snakes his way across the lane. Gets the contact with the bucket. Scored the Suns. 2113. He’s got 13 of his now 17 points here in the quarter. Eight of their points have come off fast break where the Suns right now with zero. Holiday extends the defense on Allen. Grayson turns the corner, comes in with a little teardrop, leaves it short. So on Durant, we gave Katie too much respect to block that. Durant finds a rolling Adams. He finds the cutting Thompson. Rockets with their biggest lead. Brooks gives up the dribble. A Gillespie’s got it. Back to Allen. Gets a step on Holiday who goes diving inside. Ball knocked away. Brooks has got it. Runner off the window. No. Back tap into the hands of Dylan in the paint. Pull up. Yes. 16 for Brooks. The only son scoring double figures. Adams tied up. No Alen Shenu tonight. sideline due to illness is Durant the wine.
