After Action Report

The SuperSonics took care of the Grizzlies 120-104. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
