After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Rockets 107-78. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
