After Action Report

The SuperSonics took care of the Timberwolves 121-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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).
