After Action Report
The SuperSonics demolished the Hornets 131-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
