After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics snuck past the Hornets 117-113. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
