There aren’t many teams in the NBA the Phoenix Suns can beat when they play the way they did Sunday evening, but on this day, the Charlotte Hornets were one of them.
The Suns came out of the game looking unenthused. They looked both surprised and frustrated the Hornets played such intense, passing-lane denial defense and it led to a slew of lazy passes and turnovers.
They also couldn’t shoot it into the ocean, and it led to a 10 point first quarter deficit.
Enter Tsunami Papi.
The team’s most electric player sparked a Suns comeback with his unrelenting energy.
