After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the SuperSonics 105-104. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
