Phoenix Suns Defeat Charlotte Hornets 111-99, Ending Road Winning Streak The Phoenix Suns extended their winning streak to four games with a 111-99 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, ending the Hornets’ 10-game road winning streak. Devin Booker led the way for Phoenix with 30 points and 10 assists, despite shooting just 1 for 6 from beyond the arc. Booker made all 15 of his free throws, ensuring his team’s lead remained intact throughout the game. Collin Gillespie and Jalen Green each contributed 24 points for the Suns, who improved to 16-12 on the season. Rasheer Fleming added 16 off the bench, including four 3-pointers, while the Suns’ depth proved crucial in securing the win. Phoenix’s bench scored 42 points, compared to Charlotte’s 44, but the Suns’ stronger defense in the second half allowed them to pull away. Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 22 points, but his team’s road winning streak came to an end. The Hornets’ 10-game road win streak was the longest in NBA history since the 2019-20 Lakers’ 11-game stretch. Charlotte’s loss ended a 16-5 record in their last 21 games since a poor 4-14 start to the season. Miles Bridges, Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller all scored in double digits in the first half, with Knueppel leading the NBA in 3-pointers despite going 2 for 8 from deep. The Suns, playing their final home game before a six-game road trip, maintained their strong performance. Phoenix’s victory came without starters Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams, both sidelined by injuries, and without Grayson Allen, who sat out with a sore right knee. The Suns led 60-58 at halftime, with Green scoring 20 points and Booker adding 14.#charlotte_hornets #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #collin_gillespie #jalen_green
