After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Rockets 100-97. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
