After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Bulls 124-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
