After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Suns outlasted the Hornets 95-86. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
