After Action Report

The SuperSonics handled the Magic 114-104. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
