After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics handled the Rockets 112-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
