After Action Report

The Spurs buried the SuperSonics 126-98. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
