After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics snuck past the Nuggets 103-102. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
