After Action Report

The Magic held off the SuperSonics 99-91. Magic's defense smothered the SuperSonics all night. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
