The Phoenix Suns defeated the host Orlando Magic, 92 - 87, at Amway Center on Wednesday. Orlando had the second - worst offense in the league, while the Suns had the worst defense, so something had to give in this matchup. It was the Magic's offense that proved to be more inept, as they were held to just 36 percent shooting on their way to 87 points. They also struggled from three - point range and from the free - throw line, going 7 - of - 25 from deep and 14 - of - 23 from the charity stripe. Both teams made just 33 shots, but the Magic took 18 more shots than the Suns, as they were far from efficient in their loss. Phoenix (5 - 11) have really struggled on the defensive end this season, but this was their best defensive performance of the year. All five starters scored in double figures for the Suns, with Alex Len leading the team with 17 points. Len also provided 12 rebounds and two blocks in the absence of Tyson Chandler. Eric Bledsoe accumulated 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Devin Booker and Brandon Knight combined for just 23 points, three rebounds and four assists, but played strong defense. P.J. Tucker was a nice spark off the bench, providing 10 points and seven rebounds. On deck for Phoenix is a home matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Orlando (6 - 9) has struggled on offense all season and not being able to score against the Suns may be the low point. Evan Fournier carried the load in this defeat, as he tallied 25 points, four rebounds and three steals in the loss. Nikola Vucevic recorded a 21 - point, 13 - rebound double - double on 10 - of - 15 shooting. No other starter scored in double figures with Elfrid Payton accruing nine points, six rebounds and seven assists as the starting point guard. Orlando's next game will be on Friday, when they host the Washington Wizards.
