The Orlando Magic cleaned up some of their defensive lapses Thursday against the Phoenix Suns after allowing 22 3-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
But the improved defense from the Magic (28-42) and their resiliency to keep the game with the Suns (38-32) close weren’t enough, with Phoenix pulling out a 116-113 win over Orlando at Footprint Center.
The defeat was the Magic’s fifth loss in six games.
The Suns ended their three-game losing streak with the victory.
