After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 107-80. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
