After Action Report
The SuperSonics edged the Hornets 86-78. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
