After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics took care of the Magic 112-98. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
