After Action Report

The SuperSonics downed the Mavericks 122-112. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
