After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Celtics 95-87. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
