After Action Report

The SuperSonics pulled away from the Rockets 125-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
