After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the Nuggets 114-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
