After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the SuperSonics 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
