After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Suns rolled past the Hornets 96-71. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
