After Action Report

The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 133-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
