After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Suns 127-89. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
