After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics outlasted the Heat 110-99. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).

- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
