After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the SuperSonics 116-84. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
