After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Pistons 111-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
