After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics downed the Trail Blazers 106-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
