After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 129-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
