After Action Report
In Seattle, the Trail Blazers demolished the SuperSonics 129-97. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
