After Action Report
The SuperSonics fended off the Spurs 136-127. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
