After Action Report
In Seattle, the Spurs fended off the SuperSonics 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
