After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the SuperSonics 102-89. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
