After Action Report
The SuperSonics pulled away from the Cavaliers 99-87 in overtime. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
