After Action Report
The SuperSonics pulled away from the Celtics 116-103. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
