After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Hornets 123-106. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
