After Action Report

The Mavericks took care of the SuperSonics 116-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
