After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 123-96. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hornets · 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.
