After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics demolished the Rockets 137-111. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. 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. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
