After Action Report
The Magic buried the Suns 123-99. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
