After Action Report
In Seattle, the Trail Blazers survived the SuperSonics 117-112. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
