After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 138-101. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Rockets. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' 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 · 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.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
