After Action Report
The Mavericks knocked off the SuperSonics 98-97. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
