After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Suns 111-105. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
