After Action Report

The Magic squeaked past the SuperSonics 103-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
