After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Suns 122-116. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
