After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Suns 101-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
