After Action Report
In Seattle, the Nuggets took care of the SuperSonics 100-82. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
