After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 117-75. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
