After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Rockets 104-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
