After Action Report
In Seattle, the Heat held off the SuperSonics 117-110. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
