After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the SuperSonics 123-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
