After Action Report
The Hornets edged the SuperSonics 107-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
