After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 142-97. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
