After Action Report
In Seattle, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the SuperSonics 104-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
