After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Magic 122-96. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
