After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Wizards 96-92. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 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. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
