After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the SuperSonics 109-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
