After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Magic 98-87. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
