After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 111-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
