After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic edged the SuperSonics 97-90. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
