After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Rockets 129-99. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
