After Action Report
The SuperSonics fended off the Trail Blazers 93-85. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
