(LP) • GSW 129 (3-6) @ ORL 130 (2-7)
JALEN SUGGS (ORL): CAREER-HIGH 26!, 9 dimes & 4! steals
-HUGE comeback W (trailed by 16 in the 3rd) for Jalen Suggs & the Magic. Orlando’s second-year guard had a career performance & made nearly every clutch play in the waning moments en route to victory
-Rough start for GSW! Their defense needs to pick up + Steve Kerr should settle on a rotation before they continue to use ground
