After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Mavericks 126-101. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
