The Charlotte Hornets continued to struggle without their stars, falling to the Phoenix Suns 101-96 Thursday night. The contest marked a reunion of sorts for Miles Bridges, who spent his first eight seasons with the Hornets before a trade sent him to Phoenix.

Once again, it was turnovers that derailed Charlotte, as the Hornets lost the turnover battle 27-8. Charlotte gave up 38 points on those 27 turnovers, as opposed to the 11 they scored off of Phoenix's mistakes. The blame was spread evenly, as each player in Charlotte's starting lineup committed at least four turnovers, including Coby White, who was a bright spot on offense, finishing with 21 points in 20 minutes. Devin Booker led the way for the Suns, scoring 30 points to go along with seven

assists, one rebound, three steals and one block.

Looking ahead, the Hornets will face the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers in the next two games of their West Coast road trip.
