After Action Report

In New York, the SuperSonics handled the Knicks 134-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Knicks · 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.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
