After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Hawks 116-90. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
