After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Hornets 110-109. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
