After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 130-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
