ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Desmond Bane scored 21 points, Jalen Suggs added 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists and the Orlando Magic held off the Phoenix Suns 115-111 Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Devin Booker’s 34 points for Phoenix included a 3-pointer that brought the Suns to within two points with 3.1 seconds left. But Tristan da Silva’s two free throws clinched Orlando’s second win in nine games.<\/p>\n
Suns forward Dillon Brooks, playing for the first time since breaking his hand in a game against Orlando on Feb. 21, had nine points and five rebounds in 22 foul-plagued minutes. Brooks was called for a technical foul just 89 seconds into the game and was one of 10 players to finish the game with four or more personal fouls.<\/p>\n
Paolo Banchero had 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the Magic, who survived 25 turnovers after committing 28 in Sunday’s 139-87 loss at Toronto. Wendell Carter Jr. added 15 points and 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Orlando led 70-56 after a first half that included 26 turnovers, 47 free throws and 41 fouls, including technical fouls on Brooks, Booker, Bane, Banchero and the injured Franz Wagner, who wasn’t in uniform.<\/p>\n
Booker’s big third quarter of 14 points, including nine from the free throw line, got the Suns back in it. And, when Royce O’Neal closed the period with his third 3-pointer in two minutes, the game was tied at 94.<\/p>\n
A long jumper by Brooks gave the Suns their final lead at 107-105 before Banchero and Bane scored to put Orlando back on top.<\/p>\n
