After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Mavericks 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
