After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Magic 113-105. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Magic. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
