After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Hornets 124-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
