After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Hornets pulled away from the Suns 115-97. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
