After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the SuperSonics 100-79. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
