After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 109-76. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
