Adams was unstoppable today, leading Phoenix to a 112-97 win over Charlotte. "I've never seen anything like that," said Charlotte star Foster. "Adams just flat-out dominated, and there was nothing any of us could do about it." Agreed coach Bob, "He's an excellent talent with an excellent coach. I'm afraid that we'll be seeing more of him down the road."

Adams refused to get caught up in the excitement, however. "I just did what coach told me to do," he said. "And we couldn't have won without my teammates doing their best as well." While true, Adams certainly increased the margin of victory from a close call to a solid win.

Phoenix was led by Adams (24 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Cruz (11 points, 9 assists, a steal), Morgan (23 points, a block). Charlotte was led by Foster (28 points, a block), Bailey (11 points, 15 boards, 0 assists, a block), Carreon (6 points, 5 boards, 7 assists, a steal, a block).

After today's win, Phoenix are now 9-6. They hold at #2 in the Pacific and move up to #6 overall in the Western Conference. With today's loss, Charlotte are now 9-6 and 5-3 at home. They remain at #1 in the Southeast and fall to #2 overall in the Eastern Conference.
