After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics took care of the Clippers 105-94. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
