After Action Report

The SuperSonics rolled past the Mavericks 117-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
