After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the SuperSonics 112-93. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
