After Action Report
In Phoenix, the SuperSonics took care of the Suns 119-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
