The Suns' Big Four combined, sending the Hornets to 10 consecutive defeats! Gordon dreams of returning to the top, and the championship favorite is back

Hornets vs. Suns

No one would have thought that the Suns, who reorganized the core of the championship in the offseason, gradually became the laughing stock of the entire league during the journey of this season, and they have never been able to play as competitive as they should be. That's right, Beal has only represented the team so far this season due to a series of injuries, playing in five of those games. At this stage, the Suns can only rank tenth in the West with a 15-15 win rate, barely maintaining a 50% win rate. Obviously, according to this trend, the Suns may most likely become the team that accompanies the running.

As the regular season continues, the Suns, who are back at home this time, have ushered in the challenge of the Charlotte Hornets. It is worth saying that the performance of the Hornets over the years is really hard to describe. No matter how hard they try, they can't change the state of the team's successive bullies. As a result, they are also known as the belly of the League. This time they challenged the Phoenix Suns on the road, and they were deflated again, allowing Booker and Durant to lead the team to win the game with a total score of 133-119.

The specific results

In the first half of the competition, the Suns who played at home maintained an excellent form, thus continuing to widen the difference between the two teams. Durant shot 3 of 3 in the first quarter, delivered 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Booker also had 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and Nurkic who handed over 12 points and 6 rebounds, helping the team play a 36-30 score. Entering the second quarter of the matchup, the Suns were able to take advantage of the situation and continue to play a 32-28 score with the help of Booker's 8 points and 2 assists, Allen's 6 points, and more points from the bench, expanding the difference to 10 points.

Yibian fought again, and the Suns, who maintained the initiative in the lead of the score, did not give the Hornets a chance to counterattack. In the third quarter of the competition, although Rozier had an efficient shooting percentage of 4-of-5 and 2-of-2 free throws, he delivered 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but it didn't work. Booker also continued to exert power, delivering 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Nurkic also handed over 8 points and 4 rebounds, and Gordon, who handed over 9 points, played a 35-31 score. In the final quarter of the decisive game, although Rozier never gave up and continued to hand over 12 points and 3 assists, he only played a score of 30-30. In the end, the four quarters of regular time were over, and the Suns won the game with a total score of 133-119.

epilogue

Beal ushered in a comeback in this game, although he only had 6 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, he seemed to have done nothing, but he did everything. Looking at the overall performance of the Suns, all 5 players on their team scored double-doubles, and 4 players scored more than 20 points, obviously playing the competitive level of the championship favorites. During this period, Durant shot 8 of 11 and delivered 21 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, Booker also contributed 35 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and Nurkic handed over 24 points and 15 rebounds. In addition, Gordon, who came off the bench, also dreamed of returning to the top, shooting 7-of-12 three-pointers in a single game and delivering a crucial 21 points.

On the other hand, the Hornets, who lost away and fell into the haze of 10 consecutive defeats, they also have some commendable points. During this period, Rozier ushered in a big explosion, 8 of 12 three-pointers in a single game, 14 of 22 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and sent a game-high 42 points, as well as 4 rebounds and 8 assists of luxury data, which effectively relieved the team's scoring pressure and failed to help the team complete the final reversal, which is really a pity. In addition, Miller also had a 6-of-10 three-point output, diching out 20 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
