After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics demolished the Cavaliers 111-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
