After Action Report

The Cavaliers squeaked past the SuperSonics 117-113. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Survive-and-advance type win.
