After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Pistons 127-101. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
