Final score and scoring leaders

Booker finished with 30 points, eight assists and three steals on 11-of-22 shooting, including four threes, per the CBS Sports box score. Brooks had 24 points with four threes. Miles Bridges added 18 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. The Suns shot 17 of 34 (50%) from three-point range.

Turnovers decided it

The Magic committed 25 turnovers, which Phoenix converted into 36 points, the AP report said. That margin overwhelmed Orlando despite Carter’s efficiency inside.

Phoenix controlled most of the first half. Booker scored 23 before the break and hit a three at the buzzer for a 63-51 lead. Back-to-back threes by Booker and Brooks in the third pushed the lead to 78-60, and the Suns took a 96-73 edge into the fourth. Collin Gillespie’s three with 9:20 left made it a 30-point game — the largest lead of the night — before Orlando cut into the deficit in the final period.

What’s next

The Suns are 1-1 on a season-long seven-game homestand and host Houston on Saturday. The Magic continue a four-game road trip at Golden State on Saturday, the AP noted.

How the half unfolded

Orlando briefly led early, but Phoenix answered with Booker’s threes and transition dunks from Brooks and Ryan Dunn. By the end of the first quarter the Suns led 33-26; they stretched the gap to 63-51 at halftime after Booker’s buzzer-beater three, CBS Sports’ AP report said.

Carter had 13 points and eight rebounds before the break for Orlando. The Magic’s second-half comeback never fully materialized because turnovers kept feeding Phoenix open looks. Gillespie’s corner three early in the fourth made it 105-75 — a 30-point cushion — before Orlando scored 31 in the fourth to make the final more respectable.

Team shooting: Phoenix 45 of 87 (51.7%) from the field and 17 of 34 from deep; Orlando 39 of 81 (48.1%) and 13 of 38 from three, per the CBS box score.
