After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Mavericks 109-103. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
