After Action Report

The SuperSonics handled the Heat 103-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
