After Action Report

The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Rockets 116-87. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
