After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics took care of the Trail Blazers 133-118. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
