After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Heat 132-84. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
