After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Suns 118-102. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
