After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Suns 98-95. Hornets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
