After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 131-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
