After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Timberwolves 131-90. SuperSonics torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
