After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics snuck past the Cavaliers 112-109. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' balanced five covered every spot on the floor. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
