After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Celtics 100-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
