After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the SuperSonics 109-108. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
