After Action Report
In Seattle, the Trail Blazers rolled past the SuperSonics 130-96. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
