After Action Report
In Seattle, the Celtics blew the doors off the SuperSonics 127-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
