After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Suns 100-87. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
