CRAIG MESHING WELL
The Suns got a player they’d wanted in the offseason when they traded for Bucks forward Torrey Craig last week. He has meshed well with Phoenix in four games, averaging 6.5 points.
"It has been pretty seamless, and a couple of guys respected the way he defended when he was with Denver," Suns coach Monty Williams said. "He has shown the ability to play the way that we play — slashing, cutting to the basket, defending multiple positions."
TIP-INS
Suns: Phoenix had two players in double-digit scoring in the first period. Ayton got there first with a layup with 4:34 to go in the period but didn’t score again until a layup early in the third. … Booker joined him with a shot clock-beating 3 late in the first.
Hornets: Guard Brad Wanamaker made his Charlotte debut late in the third period and committed a foul in his first minute. The Hornets acquired Wanamaker in a trade with Golden State on Thursday. … Guard Malik Monk didn’t dress (sore right foot).
