After Action Report

In Seattle, the Bobcats survived the SuperSonics 120-119. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
