After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Hornets 112-106. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
