After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 97-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
