After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Warriors 106-96. The Warriors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
