After Action Report
In Seattle, the Spurs buried the SuperSonics 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
