After Action Report

The Magic buried the SuperSonics 118-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
