After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Spurs 109-107. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
