After Action Report
The Hornets survived the SuperSonics 106-104. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
