After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the SuperSonics 99-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
