After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 116-89. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
