After Action Report

In Utah, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Jazz 126-79. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
