After Action Report
The SuperSonics snuck past the Rockets 102-100. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
