After Action Report
The SuperSonics shocked the Celtics 104-100. SuperSonics' starting five clicked while the Celtics looked disjointed. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
