After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics downed the Jazz 129-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 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.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
