After Action Report

In Dallas, the SuperSonics pulled away from the Mavericks 120-104. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
