After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Suns 100-97. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
