After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Rockets 128-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
