After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the SuperSonics 119-95. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
