After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Celtics 111-110. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
