After Action Report

The SuperSonics took care of the Pistons 117-107. SuperSonics' stops on the defensive end set the tone. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them.
