After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Rockets 122-84. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 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.
