After Action Report
In Seattle, the Jazz outlasted the SuperSonics 100-89. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
