After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics upended the Clippers 134-130 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
