After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Pistons 106-72. The better team simply showed up tonight. The SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 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. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
