Michigan State HC Tom Izzo reveals he was in talks with the Phoenix #Suns:

"I've had more than a couple job offers in the NBA, looked at one last year with Phoenix – my former player Mat Ishbia. That was hard, that was a hard thing to turn down... we talked seriously about it."

It was not pretty. You would like a cleaner effort. But the #Magic played some gritty defense in the fourth quarter and got stops when the offense stalled. Great bounce-back effort overall. You take them where you can find them right now. #Magic defeat the #Suns 115-111.

The #Magic had several possessions to extend the lead to five. But could not get shots to go down -- both good and bad ones. The #Suns have missed a lot of open looks, including a wide-open one from O'Neale. #Magic hanging on and need one more basket.

Been a scrap tonight. This is the kind of game you'd be confident in the #Magic getting stops last year. Big character check as Mosley uses his use-it-or-lose it timeout. Magic are still holding off the #Suns. Going to be about execution.

Back-to-back threes from Desmond Bane and Jamal Cain got the lead to eight. But the #Suns go on an 8-0 run to close the third quarter and we are tied at 94 after three quarters. #Magic were sloppy from the start and never found their groove consistently. It's a game in the 4th.

Again, the #Magic keep getting in their own way here. No reason to foul Devin Booker in the backcourt when you are in the bonus. And it is Tristan da Silva's fifth foul. Too much foul baiting and not enough playing. #Suns are too good to keep making mistakes.

The #Magic just really cannot get out of their own way.

On offense, it is literally where players still run into each other's space. It's turnovers. And then it's dumb fouls like the one Suggs just made on Booker shooting a three. Door is open for the #Suns.

And that is three turnovers to open the quarter. The #Suns are on an 11-2 run and have the #Magic's lead down to five. Just super imprecise. Starting the third quarter has been a problem for a long time.

#Suns open the quarter with a 7-0 run on three makes. #Magic with two offensive foul turnovers and a bad miss from Wendell Carter.

Lead is cut in half. Really poor start to the quarter.

Desmond Bane gets the rebound on a wayward three and hits a floater to end the first half. The #Magic complete a really energetic first half with a big buck. They lead the #Suns 70-56 at halftime. Best they have looked in a long time.
