After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Pistons 117-96. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
