We already said this was a game between two teams in poor form, and that was precisely why we thought there would be no great difference between the Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic. We were wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The side coached by Jordan Ott were clearly superior from the first moment. The seven-point lead they had at the end of the first quarter grew to as many as 23 before the start of the last. Indeed, the Floridians never even had a chance of competing for the win before falling 117-104.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the way we saw several interesting things. One of them is that the Orlando attack does not fire even when facing what was the worst defence in the NBA, conceding 124.5 points per 100 possessions. Surprisingly (or not), the Magic committed 25 turnovers and shot just 54 per cent from the free-throw line. Yes, the numbers are painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While almost every play was an ordeal for the Magic, Phoenix had fun as they ended a run of four straight defeats to the rhythm of Devin Booker, who finished with 30 points, including 4 of 8 from three-point range<\/p>\n\n\n\n
