The Celtics survived the SuperSonics 99-96. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
