After Action Report

In Houston, the SuperSonics survived the Rockets 107-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
