After Action Report

The Hornets downed the Suns 105-93. Hornets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
