After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 116-85. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Rockets. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
