After Action Report

The Pistons survived the SuperSonics 89-85. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
