After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the SuperSonics 148-113. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
