After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Cavaliers 122-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
