After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Trail Blazers 135-117. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
