After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Hawks 103-100. SuperSonics' positional fit overwhelmed the Hawks rotation. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · 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.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
