After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics snuck past the Rockets 122-118. SuperSonics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
