After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics shocked the Clippers 117-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
