After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics pulled away from the SuperSonics 104-88. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them.
