After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the SuperSonics 117-94. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
