After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Suns 129-97. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
