After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 106-79. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
