After Action Report
In Portland, the SuperSonics outlasted the Trail Blazers 101-82. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
