After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics survived the Rockets 115-112. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
