After Action Report
The SuperSonics snuck past the Nuggets 97-95. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
