After Action Report
The Rockets edged the SuperSonics 138-129. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
