After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Rockets 120-99. SuperSonics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
