Recap: Kelly Oubre’s late heroics help Suns hang on against Hornets in 109-104 victory

They started out with active hands (12 first half steals) and built a 20 point halftime lead.

Then they relaxed on defense, fell in love with the three and nearly threw away the game.

Oubre helped the Suns rally from seven points down with a minute to go and pull off a comeback victory after blowing a 20 point lead. He hit a pair of threes, after starting off 0-7 from deep, and forced two turnovers in the deciding moments of a huge 109-104 win.

That was a HUGE win.

The Suns move to 9-10 on the season and avoid slipping further down the standings after a 1-6 stretch marred by injuries was threatening to undo the positive momentum of their 7-4 start.
