After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Rockets 123-101. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
