After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the SuperSonics 116-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
