After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Mavericks 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
