After Action Report
The Suns demolished the SuperSonics 106-86. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
