After Action Report
The Nuggets shocked the SuperSonics 126-123. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it

- 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.
