After Action Report
The SuperSonics fended off the Heat 116-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
