After Action Report

In Orlando, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Magic 108-106. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Magic. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
