After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Rockets 93-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
