After Action Report
In Seattle, the Rockets handled the SuperSonics 111-97. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
