After Action Report
The Spurs buried the SuperSonics 119-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
