After Action Report

The SuperSonics took care of the Rockets 102-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
