After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics buried the Nuggets 105-81. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
