After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets buried the SuperSonics 127-91. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
