After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Mavericks 84-76. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
