After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Cavaliers 88-78. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
