After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the SuperSonics 93-84. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
