After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Rockets 101-87. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
