After Action Report

The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 118-97. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Nuggets. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
