After Action Report
The SuperSonics rolled past the Rockets 136-114. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
