After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Timberwolves 123-114. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' positional balance gave them a synergy edge.

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).
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
