After Action Report

In a track meet, the Suns handled the Hornets 113-103. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
