After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics outlasted the Wizards 123-116. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
