After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Hornets 89-77. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
