Daxter Miles Jr.\u00a0<\/strong>didn\u2019t miss much tonight, but unfortunately for the Northern Arizona Suns, the rest of the team had a cold day from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NAZ Suns (2-3) fell to the Lakeland Magic (5-2) at home on their fourth annual Breast Cancer Awareness Night 121-102 at the Findlay Toyota Center on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suns started cold, shooting 10-of-26 (.385) from the field in the first quarter, but found themselves ahead after the opening frame for the fourth time in five games, this time 29-26. Not much changed in the second quarter except the score, with Lakeland taking the frame 29-20 as they entered the locker room up 55-49.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third quarter knotted at 30, as the Suns roared back from down 17 points with four minutes left in the frame with a 16-5 run. The Suns trailed by four points with less than 10 minutes remaining, before the Magic closed the game 31-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic made 46-of-87 (.529) from the field, while the best shooting team in the NBA G League in the Suns finished 35-of-88 (.398) from the floor, a season-low. Both teams made 14 three-pointers apiece, but it took the Suns 16 more tries. The Magic also outscored Northern Arizona in the paint 48-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BJ Johnson led Lakeland with 32 points on 10-of-17 shooting, to go with two steals.
