After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Magic 116-99. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
