After Action Report
In Seattle, the Magic took care of the SuperSonics 99-87. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
