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.
