After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Hornets 142-116. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
