After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Pistons 105-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
