After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 121-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
