After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics demolished the Heat 127-89. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
