New-look Suns bid to pick up steam vs. reeling Hornets

January 7 - A change worked for the Phoenix Suns already this week.

The Charlotte Hornets could use revisions on the trajectory of their season as well.

The teams meet Tuesday night in Charlotte, N.C.

The Suns altered their starting lineup and ended a four-game losing streak with a 109-99 victory at Philadelphia on Monday. Phoenix coach Mike Budenholzer pulled Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic from the starting lineup.

"I just feel like we needed to make a change," Budenholzer said. "You got to figure out your best combinations."

Yet Beal still figured prominently, scoring a game-high 25 points in 30 minutes off the bench.
