After Action Report

In Seattle, the Celtics took care of the SuperSonics 117-100. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
