After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics rolled past the Rockets 116-93. 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 SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
