After Action Report

The SuperSonics upended the Rockets 116-112. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
