After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the SuperSonics 118-97. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
