After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Magic 101-96. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
