After Action Report
The SuperSonics took care of the Jazz 99-85. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
