After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Pistons 117-100. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · 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.
