After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the SuperSonics 96-95. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
