After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Pistons 125-104. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
