After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Suns 121-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
