After Action Report

The Trail Blazers buried the SuperSonics 129-105. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
