The Phoenix Suns ran into a buzz saw Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic, losing their 11th game of the season by the tune of 128-114.
In reality, it wasn’t that close.
It was well-known the Suns would be out-manned down low in this contest with Aron Baynes sitting out his second straight game with a calf strain and Deandre Ayton still 6 games away from making what fans hope to be an Ali-like return to the ring.
That part played out as predicted, with the Suns getting out rebounded by 16, and having guys get continually bullied on the defensive end around the rim.
