Great win. Held a healthy Suns and all their firepower to single digits in the 4th before garbage time and under 100 for the game. We still need shooting and we should address it at the deadline, but I think it needs to be Gary and Chuma that are on the block.

Franz. And the switchability of the big lineup more than anything else. That Carter/Isaac/Paolo/Franz/Fultz lineup is insane defensively. Back to back games over 20 minutes for JI. If this is the new norm, our ceiling feels different

Now that is Magic defense! The focus and the intensity level were off the charts. That big lineup seemed to accomplish some great things. The Suns shot 56 percent and lost by 15! Just have to maintain this on a consistent level. Great news that Isaac is expected to play tomorrow night in the back-to-back and is playing more minutes now.

Doesn't change the fact that we outshot the Suns team by 22 more 3pointers.

Film crew and coaches should better be on this. We are dead last in 3point shooting and we won't shoot great overnight. That 3point record we set against Denver is a lighting in a bottle situation. That was never the norm unless we deliberately do something on the trade deadline.

The defense is clicking, which really is the culprit on our hot start. Timely contribution from the second unit specially Mo is great. we need more of those from the 2nd team. We know what JI could bring

JI must play 20 minutes plus every game.
