After Action Report
The Suns survived the Magic 96-93. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
