After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic buried the Suns 134-112. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
