After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Pacers 111-108. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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.
