After Action Report
In Seattle, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 140-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
