After Action Report

The Cavaliers outlasted the SuperSonics 120-112. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. 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.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
