After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns survived the Magic 96-92. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
