After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Trail Blazers 106-103. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
