After Action Report

The SuperSonics snuck past the Jazz 124-120. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
