After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Suns 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
