After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Rockets 116-100. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Rockets. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · 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.
