In the third quarter, Bradley Beal broke out on the break, collected Devin Booker’s pass in stride, and dumped Orlando’s Jalen Suggs with a strong two-handed jam.

After a patchy first season with the Suns, the three-time All-Star is now exhibiting indications of potential.

Sunday night, Phoenix defeated the Magic 112-107 to win their third straight game. Kevin Durant scored 31 points, and Bradley added a career-high 25. The Suns’ all-star three of Durant, Beal, and Devin Booker played together for just the fourth game this season.

Beal declared, “We’re very talented and good.” “We facilitate one another.”

Beal was limited to just eight games this season due to ankle and back problems. The 30-year-old, who Washington acquired in an off-season trade, made 10 of 13 field goals, including a huge slam in the third quarter.

Coach Frank Vogel stated, “That’s why we’re really excited about what Bradley Beal’s going to look like in a Suns uniform.” “Despite not really having his legs beneath him, he shoots 10 for 13, scores 25 points, makes some excellent one-on-one defensive plays, takes a charge, and pulls down some very impressive athletic rebounds. Dynamic on both ends of the ball, he is a player.

Orlando fell behind for a significant portion of the game before mounting a comeback to lead 89-87 entering the fourth. In the third quarter, Paolo Banchero scored 12 points on 5 of 7 shots, leading the Magic.

Orlando’s first lead since the first quarter came via a huge 3-pointer made by Gary Harris early in the fourth quarter, putting the team ahead 96-95.

The Suns would bounce back, going on a 17–6 run to take the lead and reclaim the game. Durant contributed five rebounds, five assists, and 12 of 21 field goals. Jusuf Nurkic finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Booker scored 21 points.

Chimezie Metu scored the only six points scored by the Suns’ reserves.

“They have guys who can close the game out, especially with Durant, Booker, and Brad,” Banchero remarked. It’s difficult, therefore, when all three of them are present. Just matching their shot-making is difficult. We maintained our wonderful looks for a while.

With 28 points, Banchero led the Magic, followed by Franz Wagner with 27. Coming off the bench, Wendell Carter Jr. scored 17 points. The 21-year-old Banchero finished with nine rebounds, seven assists, and 12 of 23 field goals.

After a quarter, Durant, Beal, and Booker combined for 22 points, leading to a 37-24 lead. At the half, Phoenix was content with a 67-58 advantage.

Since Beal returned to the lineup, the ball movement of the Suns has improved significantly. Before their current winning run of three games, they had lost nine out of twelve games.

“When you go through a difficult period, you watch a lot of movies and try to figure out what kind of team you want to be,” Durant explained.

Josh Okogie, a guard who has missed six of the previous eight games due to an ankle ailment, is also back for Phoenix. In seven minutes, he got two rebounds and two assists.

Both big Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) and guard Markelle Fultz (knee) were sidelined for the Magic’s game.
