After Action Report
The SuperSonics shocked the Rockets 95-90. Lineup balance gave the SuperSonics a clear synergy edge. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
