After Action Report
The SuperSonics rolled past the Rockets 122-98. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
