After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Suns 109-103. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
