After Action Report
In Portland, the SuperSonics survived the Trail Blazers 113-112. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
