What did you expect when the Suns top two scorers sat out the game, while the Magic’s best players all played?
Devin Booker and T.J. Warren, who account for more than 40% of the Suns scoring between them, both were out for injury, while Aaron Gordon started and scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds in the opening nine minutes of the game.
The Suns played with effort, but just didn’t have enough in the talent pool to win this game.
Josh Jackson had a good start but a terrible finish, Elie Okobo dribbled the air out of the ball, and Trevor Ariza was in slow motion all night.
