After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Heat 114-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
