After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Pistons 122-97. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
