After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics upended the Suns 112-107. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

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.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
