The Phoenix Suns snapped their four-game losing streak on Thursday night with a victory over the Orlando Magic, improving their season record to 2-5. Head coach Jordan Ott implemented noticeable lineup adjustments and the team demonstrated significantly higher energy. Phoenix built a commanding 30-point lead at 105-75 behind sharp shooting, converting 17 of their 30 three-point attempts, before withstanding a late 25-10 run by Orlando.
