After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Suns 109-85. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
