The Phoenix Suns ( 15 - 24 ) defeated the Charlotte Hornets ( 17 - 18 ) 111 - 102 on Wednesday night . In a battle of two struggling teams , the home team prevailed in a much needed way . Phoenix came into this game in the midst of a nine - game losing streak and ended up pulling away with some good offense as a small underdog . They shot 49 percent from the field and went 19 - for - 33 from three - point range in a shooting exhibition . The benches were a huge disparity here , as the Suns bench has three players score 17 or more points , while the Hornets had only one bench player score more than five . The Hornets have now lost five - straight and they are now below .500 for the first time since the middle of November . It 's clear the injury to Nicolas Batum is really hurting this team , as they ca n't get anything going on either end of the floor . Kemba Walker has been playing at an all - time level recently though , but he ca n't do it all himself . He tallied 25 points , six assists and four rebounds in yet another great game . All five starters scored in double - figures actually , but they simply allowed the Suns to run up and down the floor on them far too often . Charlotte will look to end this slide on Saturday against the surging Los Angeles Clippers . The Suns needed a win as bad as any team in the NBA and they finally got one here . The amazing part is that they did it with defense , by holding the Hornets to 17 points in the final quarter . Brandon Knight was the star of the show , as he totaled 18 points , seven assists and three rebounds in the victory . The bench was fantastic as well , as T.J. Warren , Devin Booker , and Mirza Teletovic all scored between 17 and 19 points while combining for 21 rebounds , seven assists and four steals . Without Eric Bledsoe for the rest of the season , they need more team performances like this going forward in order to dig out of this deep hole they 've dug themselves . Phoenix 's next game will be on Friday when they host the Miami Heat in a difficult matchup .
