After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Nuggets 119-117. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat; shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
