After Action Report
The Magic fended off the SuperSonics 93-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
