After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Rockets 115-93. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
