After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Mavericks 135-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
