After Action Report
The SuperSonics handled the Magic 109-95. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Magic. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
