After Action Report

The SuperSonics demolished the Warriors 120-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
