After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 108-84. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
