After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics took care of the Hornets 116-105. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Hornets. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
