After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics buried the Rockets 128-96. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
