Clutch Booker Secures Suns Victory in Defensive Battle vs Magic

Head Coach Monty Williams went with a new starting lineup on Friday night against the Orlando Magic as Dario Šariu0107 stepped in as power forward and Deandre Ayton instead anchored the second unit. But with the game on the line deep into the fourth quarter, the Big Fella found himself right in the middle of the action.

Devin Booker and Kelly Oubre Jr. led the way for the Suns in the first half as the duo combined for 29 points and took a double-digit lead into the break, 58-48. The Suns led for the entirety of the first half, but just as the Suns have seen in recent games, consistency and battling for the entire 48 minutes is key.
