After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Rockets 107-98. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
