After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Cavaliers 123-113. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
