Orlando Magic PR @Magic_PR
Nikola Vucevic (24), Evan Fournier (23) & Aaron Gordon (21) all had 20+ PTS & shot 50%+ from the floor last night vs NY. Was 2nd time this season that ORL had 3 players do that in a game. The only other team in @NBA to do it is GS, who also did it twice (@EliasSports)

If @OrlandoMagic beat @Suns tonight in Phoenix, it would be the first time in franchise history that they have started the season with three straight wins on the road vs. teams from the Western Conference. They've won in New Orleans & Memphis already this season.

An @OrlandoMagic win tonight would make them 4-0 vs. the Western Conference. They’ve beaten Spurs, Pelicans & Grizzlies so far. It would tie the franchise’s best start to a season vs. West (any location). ORL last opened season 4-0 vs. West in 2004-05, per Stats Inc.
``We like playing on the road because it’s just us out there,’’ a brazen Gordon said stone-faced without a blink. ``We have to come together as a team, it’s on us and we have to make our own energy. And it’s fun silencing crowds.’’
``There’s no better feeling than going into somebody else’s arena, getting the win and shutting up the crowd. I think guys on this team like that challenge,’’ Payton said. ``This (stretch of the schedule) is very critical, but I think it’s a chance for us to prove ourselves and what kind of team we’re going to be. I think guys are up for this challenge and trying to prove that what we did early in the season wasn’t a fluke and we can play.’’
“We’re going to have to find the energy in Phoenix," said swingman Evan Fournier. "We want to play .500 basketball on the road this season. So it’s going to be a challenge, but we’re going to have fight.”
We’ve got to be ready for this stretch playing on the road," Vucevic added. "It’s not easy, but I feel like this team does like to play on the road.”
Charles Barkley:
I'll tell you what, boy. Kevin Johnson's rolling over in his grave watching these Suns play.
Ced Ceballos is rolling over in his grave.
Dan Majerle's rolling over in his grave.
Frank Johnson's rolling over in his grave watching these bums in Phoenix.
Look at them empty sets, man. The best fans in the world get to watch this trash.
They keep inviting me to games, too, Kenny. Like what the hell? Why would I wanna go watch that?
Why did you get all excited when they made that run, Ernie? You know they're gonna lose. I've seen this movie.

Suns center Tyson Chandler will not play tonight against the Magic because of back spasms, Phoenix interim coach Jay Triano said.
THIS DATE IN MAGIC HISTORY – NOVEMBER 10…
November 10, 1999 – Pat Garrity paced the Magic while shooting a near perfect 10-of-11 from the floor, tying a then career-high
25 points, as Orlando held off Allen Iverson and the Sixers, 110-105. Iverson dropped a game-high 46 for Philadelphia, with 36
of his points coming in the second half, the record for most points scored by an opponent in a half against the Magic.
November 10, 1995 – The Magic sign free agent Joe Wolf, who became an O-rena favorite. Each time Wolf scored or grabs a
rebound, the crowd let out a wolf howl.
