The Orlando Magic edged the Phoenix Suns 115–111 on March 31 at Kia Center, combining defensive intensity with balanced scoring to secure a low-scoring affair that fell short of the 225.5 Vegas total. Devin Booker led Phoenix with 34 points, but the Suns shot just 39.8 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers while committing 20 turnovers in a third-quarter collapse. Orlando's D. Bane and J. Suggs each scored 20 points, anchoring a Magic attack that shot 44.3 percent and held Phoenix to just 17 fourth-quarter points despite the Suns' 38-point third-quarter explosion. The Magic's defensive rating of 98.8 proved decisive in the final frame, while their 13 steals and 46 rebounds—despite 25 turnovers—underscored their physical approach. Phoenix's third-quarter outburst (38 points) suggested offensive firepower, yet Orlando's poise down the stretch, particularly after surrendering 42 points in the second quarter, reflected championship-caliber composure. The win moves Orlando closer to playoff positioning as they navigate the stretch run.
