After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 109-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
