After Action Report

The Bobcats edged the SuperSonics 102-93. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
