After Action Report

The SuperSonics took care of the Mavericks 111-97. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Mavericks. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
