After Action Report

The Pistons buried the SuperSonics 128-103. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
