After Action Report

In Indiana, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Pacers 107-106. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
