Suns-Magic Updates: Booker, Phoenix Still Struggling in 3rd Quarter

Phoenix Suns Remain Ice-Cold in Third Quarter, Trail Orlando Magic

Devin Booker and the Suns Offense Struggle in Orlando

The Phoenix Suns' struggles continued in the third quarter against the Orlando Magic on Friday night. Despite a strong start to the game, the Suns went ice-cold in the third, shooting just 22.2% from the field and scoring only 14 points. As a result, the Magic took a 77-63 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Devin Booker, the Suns' leading scorer, was held to just 2 points in the third on 1-of-5 shooting.

The Suns' offense has been a major issue all season long, and it continued to be a problem in Orlando. The team is shooting just 44.1% from the field this season, which ranks 29th in the NBA. They are also struggling to make threes, shooting just 33.9% from beyond the arc, which ranks 26th in the league.

The Suns will need to find a way to improve their offense if they want to turn their season around. They have a lot of talent on their roster, but they haven't been able to put it all together consistently. If they can't figure it out soon, they could be in danger of missing the playoffs.
