PLAYER OF THE GAME: Art Long was an emergency starter, and the 6-foot-9 center provided the energy that was important against a tired team. Long grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds and gave his team a bonus with 12 points on 6-for-9 shooting.

TOP RESERVE: Earl Watson appears to have taken over the role of Gary Payton's backup. Last night Watson showed why with 10 points, four assists, four steals, three rebounds and one block.

KEY TO THE GAME: The Sonics exploited the tired legs of Orlando from the opening tipoff. Even when the Magic made its run in the third quarter, the Sonics eventually used another burst of spirited play that led to the blowout.

NEXT: Wednesday at 7 p.m. versus the Kings at KeyArena.

Howard Schultz has given up basketball.

No, the coffee magnate doesn't plan on selling the Sonics after less than a year.

But after getting injured while playing basketball recently, Schultz has given up his Sunday ritual of hoops ? at least for now.

A few weeks ago, Schultz broke his nose after getting an elbow from a buddy ? the owner won't identify the perpetrator ? while going for a rebound.
