After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Suns 100-99. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Suns. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
