After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics buried the Spurs 144-117. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
