After Action Report
In Seattle, the Rockets edged the SuperSonics 107-98. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
