After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics demolished the Hawks 145-125. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · 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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
