After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 136-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
