After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Magic 97-91. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
