The SuperSonics snuck past the Clippers 125-120. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
