After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Suns 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
