After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Rockets 111-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- 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.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
