After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Pacers 100-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
