After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Hornets 123-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
