After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics upended the Cavaliers 119-110. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
