After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Spurs 120-92. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
