After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 136-94. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
