After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Celtics 104-75. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
