After Action Report
In Orlando, the SuperSonics upended the Magic 112-105. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. An upset for the books.
