After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics held off the Pacers 91-85. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers 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. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
