After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Hornets 125-103. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in. 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
