After Action Report

The Rockets survived the SuperSonics 103-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
