After Action Report
The SuperSonics rolled past the Bulls 104-69. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · 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.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
