After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Trail Blazers 111-93. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. 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.
