After Action Report

The SuperSonics downed the Rockets 109-95. SuperSonics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
