After Action Report
The SuperSonics rolled past the Nuggets 106-86. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
