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.
