After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics snuck past the Rockets 107-105. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
