After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics downed the Jazz 118-105. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
