After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the SuperSonics 130-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
