After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the SuperSonics 114-85. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
