Another inexcusable loss to a bad team.

So frustrating.

Holando played well. Didn't help that the Suns couldn't get a whistle to go their way down the stretch, but whatever. On to the next one.

Craig trying to do a little too much on some of these possessions, just needs to stick to his role.
Bridges 2-9, 1-7 from deep.

Craig 10 pts, 8 rebs. 4-7 from the field, 2-2 from deep.

uhhh ....

Suns are two wins away from tying their all time record of consecutive road wins (9).

Suns usually reliable bench came up short tonight.

Oof. Yeah, Bridges looked very out of sorts offensively tonight.

Womp womp. Gotta execute end of game plays. Magic defended well and shot better than they have been. We couldn't get the stops we normally get.

Trade everyone tomorrow. Start over.

Nobody played great, but the bench, Bridges, and the execution down the stretch were all terrible.

Dario's definitely hit the wall. Usually the bench helps carry the starters, tonight the starters did all the heavy lifting.

We really do have a lot of bad losses for a good team.

The Suns are 16-6 against teams .500 and above (second to Brooklyn's 18-6)

Unfortunately they're now 13-8 against sub-.500 teams.

Vuc seems pretty frustrated dealing with DA which is nice to see.
That didn't last for long.

Honestly, it doesn't even matter anymore. This team likes dropping games to bad teams. That just is their thing, and will likely continue to the end of the season.

I'm content with a third game in a row where Ayton shows a pulse, and Craig has been a contributor. I'll take that and move on.
