After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the SuperSonics 115-80. Heat's offense had its way with the SuperSonics. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
