After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Suns 133-122. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
