After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Magic 115-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · 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.
- SuperSonics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
