After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Suns 105-97. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
