After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Rockets 104-102. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
