After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the SuperSonics 94-81. Celtics' positional fit overwhelmed the SuperSonics rotation. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
