After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics fended off the Timberwolves 108-99. The Timberwolves 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. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
