After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 116-86. Every possession went the Jazz way. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

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