The Rockets shocked the SuperSonics 122-117. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
