Phoenix Suns Snap Charlotte's Streak, Win 111-99

0:00For the Charlotte Hornets, it's March 9th, and here's what's going on. The Phoenix Suns handed the Charlotte Hornets a 111-99 loss, ending Charlotte's impressive 10-game road-winning streak. Devin Booker paced Phoenix with 30 points and 10 assists, going 1 for 6 from 3-point range but perfect on all 15 free throws. Colin Gillespie and Jalen Green each dropped 24 points for the Suns, who improved to 4 wins in their last 5 games. Their sheer flaming chipped in 16 off the bench, including 4-3s. Lamello Ball led Charlotte with 22 points, while the team showed fight despite the skid. That road streak was the NBA's longest since the Lakers rattled off 11 away, wins back in the 2019-20 season. Phoenix controlled the game early of 60-58 at halftime, with Green scoring 20 and Booker adding 14. The Suns were missing starters, Dylan Brooks and Mark Williams to fractures, plus Reserve Grace and Alan with a sore knee.
