After Action Report

In Seattle, the Suns held off the SuperSonics 126-118. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
