After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns buried the Hornets 110-82. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
