After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the SuperSonics 82-66. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
