After Action Report
The SuperSonics rolled past the Mavericks 121-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
