After Action Report

In Orlando, the SuperSonics took care of the Magic 107-88. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
