After Action Report

The Heat survived the SuperSonics 123-118. Heat's offense had its way with the SuperSonics. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
