After Action Report
The Suns handled the Hornets 89-73. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
