After Action Report
In Seattle, the Celtics outlasted the SuperSonics 110-94. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
