After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Timberwolves 116-114. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
