After Action Report

The Magic squeaked past the SuperSonics 96-92. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

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