After Action Report

The Clippers ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

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