After Action Report
The SuperSonics shocked the Hornets 108-93. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
