After Action Report
The SuperSonics pulled away from the Rockets 128-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed.

- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
