After Action Report

The Suns survived the Hornets 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
