After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the SuperSonics 115-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
