After Action Report
In Dallas, the SuperSonics held off the Mavericks 90-82. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
