After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Rockets 93-87. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
