After Action Report

In Dallas, the SuperSonics took care of the Mavericks 84-74. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
