After Action Report
In Seattle, the Clippers survived the SuperSonics 123-120. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
