After Action Report
The SuperSonics fended off the Pacers 98-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
