After Action Report
The SuperSonics handled the Jazz 131-116. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
