After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Celtics 120-80. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
