After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 124-91. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
