After Action Report

The Rockets buried the SuperSonics 107-81. Rockets' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
