After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Mavericks 121-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
