After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Suns 113-105. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
