The Charlotte Hornets (31 - 28) defeated the Phoenix Suns (15 - 45) 126 - 92 on Tuesday. A lost season for the Suns only got worse, as the 34 - point defeat marked their 16th consecutive road loss and 11th straight by double digits, with the latter representing the longest such streak by a team since the 1992 - 93 campaign. The debacle Tuesday was also their second defeat by more than 30 points in the last four contests. The two bright spots in recent games for Phoenix have been at the power forward spot, with Alex Len and Mirza Teletovic forming a formidable 1 - 2 punch. Such was the case again Tuesday, as the pair of big men combined for 35 points, nearly 40 percent of the team's total scoring on the night. Precious few other players, be they starters or reserves, found the net with any consistency for the Suns, who shot 36 percent from the field and 22 percent from three - point range in the lopsided loss. Len's 18 - point, 12 - rebound double - double spearheaded the Phoenix offense, and he added an assist as well. Teletovic followed with the second - highest scoring tally on the team in his 20 minutes on the court, amassing 17 points, a rebound, an assist and a block. Devin Booker was the only other starter besides Len to manage double - digit scoring for the visitors, collecting 13 points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal. John Jenkins also contributed 11 points, a rebound and an assist in an efficient 14 minutes off the bench, while former starter Archie Goodwin supplied 10 points, four rebounds and two assists in a reserve role as well. The Suns remain in fourth place in the Western Conference's Pacific Division. They head to Miami to take on the Heat on Thursday night. With a 68 - 42 advantage by halftime, the Hornets did n't exactly need an overabundance of minutes from their starters, but Kemba Walker still managed to total 26 points, nine assists, six rebounds and a steal. Al Jefferson was the second - highest scorer in a point - per - minute performance off the bench, as he tallied 19 on the scorebard, and added seven rebounds and a block in just 19 minutes of court time. Nicolas Batum and Jeremy Lamb followed with a pair of 15 - point efforts.
