After Action Report
The Suns upended the SuperSonics 128-101. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.

- SuperSonics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
