After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Suns 103-97. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
