After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 111-102. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
