After Action Report
The Rockets buried the SuperSonics 118-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
