After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the SuperSonics 109-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
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.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
