After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Trail Blazers 130-129. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
