Visiting fans typically show up earlier than home fans, but even bearing that in mind, there are quite a few Suns fans here in Orlando tonight. Big cheer when Phoenix came out for warmups – 6:48 PM

I asked Monty Williams about what the conversations have been like with Devin Booker and Chris Paul from afar, and while they obviously want to get back ASAP, they’re liking the confidence they’re seeing from the other guys: pic.twitter.com/rHXz2U5wnL – 6:37 PM

Since rebounding is the topic of conversation lately, the Magic are tied for 27th in OREB%, so it shouldn’t be a problem today (in theory) – 5:27 PM
