The Orlando Magic (24-22) orchestrated a remarkable defensive display to secure a 113-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns (26-20) on Sunday night, overshadowing Devin Booker’s 44-point performance.
Booker, coming off a historic 62-point game against the Indiana Pacers, continued his scoring spree. However, his efforts couldn’t prevent the Suns’ struggles in the crucial fourth quarter, where they shot 5 for 18 and committed seven turnovers.
Paolo Banchero led the Magic in scoring with 26 points, followed by Moritz Wagner, who came off the bench, to deliver impactful performance with 16 points and 12 rebounds in just 23 minutes. Markelle Fultz added 14 points.
Kevin Durant, though limited to 12 shots, contributed 15 points and played a part in forcing the Suns into 23 turnovers. Bradley Beal scored just nine points (4/13 field goals).
