After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the SuperSonics 130-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
