After Action Report
In Seattle, the Heat rolled past the SuperSonics 142-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
