After Action Report
The Suns demolished the SuperSonics 126-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
