After Action Report
In Indiana, the SuperSonics outlasted the Pacers 120-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
