After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Grizzlies 126-123 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
