After Action Report
In Houston, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Rockets 112-109. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Rockets. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
