After Action Report

In Houston, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Rockets 105-104. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
