After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Suns 94-91. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
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.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
