After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Suns 101-92. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
