After Action Report
In Miami, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Heat 123-92. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- 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.
