After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics fended off the Suns 111-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
