After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 133-95. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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 · 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.
