After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the SuperSonics 108-102. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
