After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Hornets 106-102. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
