The fire on the court was ignited again, and on the stage of the NBA regular season, the Suns and Hornets had a fierce showdown. The highlight of this game is not only the reunion of the Suns' big three, but also the fact that the Hornets have recently suffered a nine-game losing streak, which has left fans doubting their strength. However, at the beginning of the game, there was an unforeseen passion.
Beal's comeback breathed new life into the game, and the Suns' Big Three showed a strong chemistry in the first quarter. Nurkic, Miller and other players took turns to score, so that the game fell into a stalemate for a while. Durant's three-pointer hit the target, Rozier's layup responded, and the game quickly heated up. Throughout the first quarter, the two sides did not give in to each other, as if they were engaged in a high-level peak showdown.
After halftime, the Suns still led 68-58. Durant showed all-round ability, with 11 points, 6 assists and 2 blocks, laying the foundation for the team to lead. At the same time, the Hornets' Rozier and Miller also showed tenacious offensive ability, and the 17-point score kept the game still confusing. And the Suns' Booker played a very high efficiency on the court, with 15 points and 5 assists. Throughout the half, the scores alternated leads, making it difficult to ** the final result of the game.
At the beginning of the second half, the Suns' Booker showed amazing individual ability, and the 7-point scoring streak allowed the Suns to gradually expand their advantage. However, the Hornets did not give up easily, and Rozier's three-pointers and Martin's layups brought the tension of the game to its peak time and time again. The Suns' offensive firepower is undiminished, but the holes in the defense also give the Hornets a chance. Beal had a mediocre performance in the quarter, with six points and seven assists, and fans cheered for his return, but also expected him to find better form in future games.
Entering the crucial final quarter, the game entered a white-hot state. Durant's jump shot, Washington's three-pointer, the two sides are evenly matched in the fight for outside firepower. Rozier scored 42 points again, showing his own super scoring ability, but in the face of the Suns' overall firepower, it was obviously not enough to change the pattern of the game. Towards the end of the game, the Suns beat the Hornets 133-119.
After the whole game, the Suns' Durant's all-round performance of 21 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 blocks was impressive, and Booker's 35 points became the Suns' scoring champion. Beal gradually found the feeling of the game after his return, and the statistics of 6 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists may be just the beginning, and Nurkic's 24 points and 15 rebounds provided interior support for the Suns.
For the Hornets, Rozier's 42 points from the air became the team's brightest performance, and Miller also contributed 20 points. However, the 10-game losing streak saw the team drop to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
The result not only gave the Suns two straight wins, but also provided them with an opportunity to climb to No. 9 in the Western Conference standings. The Suns showed great offensive prowess in this game, and Beal's return brought new variables to the team. The team's overall performance has given people a lot to look forward to in the games ahead. After all, when the Big Three come together again, no matter which stadium they are on, it will set off a visual feast.
