After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Rockets 123-115. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
