After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks survived the SuperSonics 85-84. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
