Paul to Bridges lob finish. #Suns up two. Timeout Phoenix. Up 13-11 with 6:34 left in 1st. – 9:18 PM

Clean catch by Ayton and that’s 3-for-3. #Suns #Magic tied. – 9:17 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Definitely feels like a bit of an emotional letdown kinda game after the road trip, trade deadline and Bucks rematch. Suns tied at 11 early – 9:17 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Ayton with four. Tie game. – 9:16 PM

The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,187 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

Carter on Crowder so Suns start with Crowder moving off the ball for a 3. Same matchup on the other end. Ayton and Bamba. – 9:11 PM

Figuring this out for home games.
See the black curtain.
Players are behind that.
Security pulled it back right before JaVale McGee’s “Hey MFs!”
Still hear woofs down the hall.
Talked with security. Worked out logistics to get footage Tuesday for #Suns vs. #ClipperNation. pic.twitter.com/1mqzj2Vmce9:05 PM

Magic rolling with their usual starting lineup the last 10 games that includes Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr.
Suns will have a focus on the glass. – 9:01 PM

Two members of the 2012-13 Orlando Magic are facing off tonight against each other: Sacramento’s Maurice Harkless and Washington’s Ish Smith. Harkless is in his 10th NBA season. Smith is in his 12th NBA season. That Magic team went 20-62. – 8:07 PM

“They play hard.” #Suns coach Monty Williams about #Magic, saying they have young talent to start and come off the bench with veterans like Gary Harris and Terrence Ross. pic.twitter.com/aVTKR9HNzP7:29 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
“He’s one of those guys that can fit in on any team.”
Monty Williams said it’s helpful to have a guy the Suns are familiar with who can play in a number of spots (including the small-ball 5 spot) – 7:23 PM
Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
In February, the Magic are dead last in the NBA in both rebound percentage (45.2) and second-chance points allowed (18.2 per game). – 7:16 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Regarding chasing the Suns for the 1-seed in the West, Kerr said they don’t really talk about it. The main focus is getting everyone healthy, the “number one goal.” Kerr said it feels unrealistic to make up 4 or 5 games on Phoenix, but you never know. – 6:58 PM
