After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the SuperSonics 131-87. Mavericks' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
