After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the Warriors 119-84. SuperSonics' positional fit overwhelmed the Warriors rotation. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
