After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Suns 101-86. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
