After Action Report
The Suns buried the SuperSonics 126-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
