After Action Report

The Suns took care of the SuperSonics 97-81. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

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.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
