After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Suns 140-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
