Phoenix lost their second consecutive game after winning seven of them in a row. The team went more than eight minutes without making a field goal in the fourth quarter and only managed four points in the last ten minutes. A team consisting of the 6-10 Banchero, 6-10 Franz Wagner, 6-11 Moritz Wagner, and 6-11 Jonathan Isaac allowed the Magic to shut down opposition defences.
Booker made 9 of 11 free throws and was 17 of 26 from the field. However, he scored just two points in the last frame. After committing seven turnovers in a 13-point fourth quarter, the Suns shot 5 for 18. In 23 minutes after coming off the bench, Moritz Wagner finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Kevin Durant scored 15 points and committed seven of the Suns' 23 turnovers while only getting 12 shots.
