After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the SuperSonics 109-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
