After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Rockets 109-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
