After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Rockets 120-116. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
