After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Knicks 131-122. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
