After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics took care of the Rockets 118-108. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
