After Action Report

The Nets pulled away from the SuperSonics 97-86. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
