After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the SuperSonics 112-90. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
