After Action Report

The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 116-89. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
