After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Spurs 99-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
