After Action Report
In Seattle, the Rockets buried the SuperSonics 118-87. Rockets torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
