The Phoenix Suns defeated the host Orlando Magic , 92 - 87 , at Amway Center on Wednesday . Orlando had the second - worst offense in the league , while the Suns had the worst defense , so something had to give in this matchup . It was the Magic 's offense that proved to be more inept , as they were held to just 36 percent shooting on their way to 87 points . They also struggled from three - point range and from the free - throw line , going 7 - of - 25 from deep and 14 - of - 23 from the charity stripe . Both teams made just 33 shots , but the Magic took 18 more shots than the Suns , as they were far from efficient in their loss . Phoenix ( 5 - 11 ) have really struggled on the defensive end this season , but this was their best defensive performance of the year . All five starters scored in double figures for the Suns , with Alex Len leading the team with 17 points . Len also provided 12 rebounds and two blocks in the absence of Tyson Chandler . Eric Bledsoe accumulated 16 points , nine rebounds and five assists . Devin Booker and Brandon Knight combined for just 23 points , three rebounds and four assists , but played strong defense . P.J . Tucker was a nice spark off the bench , providing 10 points and seven rebounds . On deck for Phoenix is a home matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday . Orlando ( 6 - 9 ) has struggled on offense all season and not being able to score against the Suns may be the low point . Evan Fournier carried the load in this defeat , as he tallied 25 points , four rebounds and three steals in the loss . Nikola Vucevic recorded a 21 - point , 13 - rebound double - double on 10 - of - 15 shooting . No other starter scored in double figures with Elfrid Payton accruing nine points , six rebounds and seven assists as the starting point guard . Orlando 's next game will be on Friday , when they host the Washington Wizards . When one of the worst offenses faces one of the worst defenses , something has to give . It was the Orlando offense that proved to be more inefficient , as they hit just 36 percent of their shots on the way to 87 points . Both teams made 33 shots in the tight contest , but Orlando took 91 shots to Phoenix 's 73 shot attempts . There were six ties and eight lead changes , with no team leading by more than 12 points .
