After Action Report

The SuperSonics rolled past the Spurs 125-99. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
