The Phoenix Suns head into 2024 with a win over the Orlando Magic, 112-107. Light the fireworks, the team is on a winning streak.
All members of the Big Three (Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker) finished with 20+ points, showing glimpses of an unstoppable force on the offensive side of the ball. With Beal mentioning that the Suns' defense played like “trash” at times in Friday's win against the Charlotte Hornets, the Suns grabbed 12 steals, leading to 18 fastbreak points.
The Magic, behind Paolo Banchero’s 28 points, stayed with the Suns for the majority of the game, finding themselves down 16 points in the third, but managed to fight back and take a one-point lead.
