The Orlando Magic continue a four-game roadtrip Wednesday when they visit the Phoenix Suns on the second night of a back-to-back set.

Tipoff between Orlando and Phoenix is set for 10:00 PM Eastern on Fox Sports Florida and ESPN 580 AM in Orlando. The Orlando Pinstriped Post GameThread will appear at 8:00 PM in this StoryStream and on the cover.

Orlando's last time out: The Magic kept pace with the Golden State Warriors for much of Tuesday's game, trailing by only 10 at halftime, but the hosts used an 18-0 run in the third period to take command of the game for good. Tobias Harris scored 14 points and snared six rebounds off Orlando's bench, and Maurice Harkless put together an efficient 12-point, four-board night.

Phoenix's last time out: The Suns' two-game winning streak ended Monday at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets, 108-95, despite 35 combined points from Gerald Green and Markieff Morris off the bench. The Suns shot 46.3 percent from the floor but lost due to poor defense: Brooklyn connected on 58.6 percent of its shots, including nine treys, in its win.
