After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Trail Blazers 160-131. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
