After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Hornets 116-90. Every possession went the Suns way. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
