After Action Report
The Hornets shocked the Suns 118-107. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. 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. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
