Tonight’s game between the Phoenix Suns and the Charlotte Hornets isn’t just another regular season matchup, it is the first time these two teams have faced off since the offseason blockbuster trade that sent Miles Bridges to Phoenix.
Miles Bridges Faces His Former Squad: What Went Down
This showdown marks the first time these two franchises meet since the offseason trade that shook things up. Phoenix sent Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and an unprotected 2033 first-round pick to Charlotte. In return, the Suns brought in Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick. Bridges stepping onto the court against his former team tonight is going to be intense, no doubt.
Can The Suns Turn Around Their 4-6 Start?
Both teams are looking to build some momentum. The Hornets, sitting at 4-7, are fresh off a solid 124-112 home win against the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 9. The Suns are struggling a bit more at 4-6, but they just picked up a big 133-110 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, who are 2-8, on November 10. That win was the second game of a back-to-back, which shows some grit. This Thursday, November 12, game at Mortgage Matchup Center is another chance for the Suns to continue their season-long, seven-game homestand and really get their season back on track.
The stakes are high for both the 4-6 Suns and the 4-7 Hornets tonight. With Miles Bridges facing his old team and both squads desperate to climb out of early season struggles, every possession in this 7 p.m. showdown will matter. You won’t want to miss it!
