Hornets Fall to Suns Amid Wildfire Disruptions

The Charlotte Hornets faced the Phoenix Suns on January 12, 2025, after having two games postponed due to California wildfires. The Hornets, who recently ended a 10-game losing streak with a win against the Suns, started strong but struggled in the second quarter, eventually tying the game at halftime. Mark Williams had a standout performance with 22 points and 13 rebounds, while LaMelo Ball contributed 12 points and six assists. For the Suns, Bradley Beal led the team with 14 points, supported by Grayson Allen and Devin Booker. Despite the Hornets' previous success against the Suns, the team's overall struggles continue to raise doubts about their performance. Betting predictions suggest that the Hornets may cover a +7.5 point spread due to their extra rest from the postponed games.
