After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics outlasted the Magic 123-114. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
