After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Rockets 101-96. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
