The Suns trailed by nine with just under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter before concluding the game with a 23-7 run.

Miller drained a 3-pointer to put Charlotte back ahead with 2:18 left. Ighodaro delivered two dunks for the Suns, and Royce O’Neale knocked down a trey to give the Suns a 118-113 lead with 41.5 seconds left.

Booker made two free throws with 28.2 seconds left to cap the closing 9-0 run.

Williams already had season bests of 22 points and 13 rebounds by halftime. He made 9 of 10 shots in the half, which ended in a tie at 62.

The Hornets scored the first six points of the third quarter to take a 68-62 lead, and they were still ahead 96-86 after Nick Smith Jr. made a trey with 2:12 left in the period.

Charlotte led 98-93 entering the final stanza. The Hornets were later leading 106-97 after Bridges’ basket with 6:58 remaining, before the Suns made their charge.
