After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Wizards 98-97. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
