After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Suns 123-116. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
