Game Day: Suns (16-18) @ Hornets (7-27), Tues 1/7/24

Time: 5:00 pm AZ (4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm ET)
Place: Spectrum Center, Charlotte, NC
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

No rest for the weary as the Suns play a back-to-back Tuesday night in Charlotte. Can the Suns win two in a row? I know the Suns can't take any team for granted but this really is a team they should beat. The Hornets have lost 10 in a row!

Test of the Suns’ mentality - they should win and have showed they can play together. But can they do it for two games in a row?

Booker only seems like he can function as point Book now. Weird.

Tune in just to watch the Suns start stinking up the joint. Very cool.

We drive and kick to get Nurk 3s. He's hit two so far but c'mon.

Beal's back!

I'm a bit behind live (just finished the 1st quarter) and it's a small sample size, but I like our energy better the past 1.25 games so far. IMO this is a better rotation for us. Maybe something to build on.

Bad Suns back. Lots of ‘too cool to try hard’ stuff going on again. Also way too predictable getting it to KD for contested mid range jumpers at the end of the half.
