After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Suns 119-114. Hornets' offense had its way with the Suns. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
