After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the SuperSonics 110-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
