After Action Report

The SuperSonics rolled past the Cavaliers 145-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
