After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Heat 123-119. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

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.
