After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Pistons 136-87. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
