After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics demolished the Celtics 140-108. SuperSonics torched the Celtics on the offensive end. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
