After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Hornets 103-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
