After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the SuperSonics 105-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 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.
