After Action Report
The Heat upended the SuperSonics 117-104. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
