After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 129-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
