After Action Report
The Magic handled the Suns 106-89. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
