After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Suns 116-103. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
