Suns-Magic updates: Booker, Phoenix stay cold in 3rd quarter

Phoenix faces largest deficit of the night entering fourth quarter

After wiping away an 11-point deficit in the second quarter, the Suns proceeded to go ice cold in the third, getting outscored 29-15 by the Orlando Magic.

With just 12 minutes remaining, the Suns now face their largest deficit of the night, down 88-76.

Devin Booker continues to struggle

Leading scorer Devin Booker has once again struggled from the field, shooting just 3-of-14, including 1-of-6 from three.

The 2-time All-Star has just 13 points on the night, well below his season average of 27.1 points per game.

The Suns will need Booker to find his shot in a hurry if they want to avoid their third straight loss.

Suns shooting woes continue

The Suns' shooting woes continued in the third quarter, as they shot just 6-of-23 from the field (26.1%).

For the game, the Suns are shooting just 36.2% from the field and 25.0% from three.

The Magic, meanwhile, are shooting 47.8% from the field and 36.4% from three.

Suns must find a way to generate offense

The Suns have been held to under 80 points in each of their last two games.

They will need to find a way to generate more offense in the fourth quarter if they want to avoid another loss.

One possible solution would be to get more ball movement and create open looks for their shooters.
