After Action Report

In Indiana, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Pacers 113-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

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