After Action Report

The SuperSonics fended off the Pistons 105-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
