After Action Report

The SuperSonics demolished the Heat 124-94. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics steamroller is in full effect right now. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
