After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Suns 93-86. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Suns. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
