DeAndre Ayton and Landry Shamet scored 21 points each and Mikal Bridges blocked a potential tying 3-pointer in the final seconds to help theAfter Cameron Payne’s two free throws put the Suns up by three with 6.9 seconds left, Orlando’s Franz Wagner put up a 3-pointer that Bridges deflected.
"Six 3s tonight, that’s big-time," Payne said. "Landry’s been playing big-time and we’ve got to keep this going when Book comes back. I know I’ve been getting a lot of assists, but the credit goes to the guys making the shots.""Everybody on the team tells him to shoot. Tonight it was impressive to see him step up and make big shot after big shot," coach Monty Williams said. "This develops a capacity for us to grow as a team.
"I’m proud of our guys for the way we competed all night long, but it’s more about what we did defensively," coach Jamahl Mosley said. "When you’re shooting 18% from the 3-point line ... we weren’t able to make shots, but we still had an opportunity to win the game."
