After Action Report
The SuperSonics snuck past the Trail Blazers 98-94. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · 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.
