After Action Report
In Portland, the SuperSonics survived the Trail Blazers 104-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
