After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the SuperSonics 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
