After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Rockets 142-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
