After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Suns pulled away from the Bobcats 119-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
