After Action Report

The SuperSonics handled the Mavericks 121-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
