The Phoenix Suns snapped a four-game losing streak with a 117-104 victory over the Orlando Magic on November 5, 2026, before a sellout crowd of 17,071 at Mortgage Matchup Center.

Devin Booker paced the Suns with 30 points and a game-high eight assists in 33 minutes, scoring 23 of his points in the first half. Dillon Brooks added 24 points for Phoenix, which improved to 2-5 on the season.

Wendell Carter Jr. led the Magic with 27 points and 13 rebounds as Orlando fell to 2-6. The Magic were without several key players, including Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs, and Jonathan Isaac.

The Suns played without Jordan Goodwin, Rasheer Fleming, and Mark Williams. Phoenix started Oso Ighodaro at center instead of Khaman Maluach, who had started the first six games.

Phoenix led 63-51 at halftime behind Booker's 23 first-half points. Luke Kennard contributed 12 points on 3-of-4 shooting from three-point range.

The Suns continue a seven-game homestand on November 7 against the Houston Rockets, who are 7-2 and swept Phoenix last season. The matchup carries added significance after Phoenix traded Kevin Durant to Houston for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the 10th overall pick Khaman Maluach.
