After Action Report

The Suns outlasted the SuperSonics 120-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
