After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Hornets 106-104. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · 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.
