After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Celtics 109-93. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
