The Hornets took a commanding lead early going up 22 at halftime, but the young Suns never gave up and continued to fight their way back.
Tyler Ulis hit a midrange jumper to make it a six-point game in the fourth quarter. This was followed up by an acrobatic layup from T.J. Warren to bring the Suns within four, with under five minutes remaining.
