After Action Report
The Spurs edged the SuperSonics 104-95. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
