After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the SuperSonics 158-105. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
