After Action Report
The Jazz buried the SuperSonics 123-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
