After Action Report
In Seattle, the Pistons survived the SuperSonics 120-117. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
