After Action Report
In Seattle, the Hornets rolled past the SuperSonics 151-109. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
