New Orleans Hornets Coach Jeff Bower was in a deep discussion with his assistants during a third-quarter timeout, trying to come up with an effective plan to stop the Phoenix Suns from exposing his team’s interior defense flaws.
The Hornets defended well for a quarter, but Bower could not come up with anything to keep it going once the Suns regained control of the game midway in the third behind power forward Amar’e Stoudemire, who scored a game-high 36 points.
Giving up too many layups, dunks and putbacks were the contributing factors that sealed Hornets’ 120-106 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night at the US Airways Center.
The Hornets suffered their seventh consecutive road loss – tying their longest road streak since the 2005-06 season.
