After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics snuck past the Spurs 117-114. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
