After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Heat 142-115. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 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 Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
