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.
