After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets upended the Suns 125-123. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

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.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
