Blanketing Hakeem Olajuwon with two and three defenders, the Sonics showed their regular-season domination of the Houston Rockets was no fluke with a 108-75 victory Saturday in the opener of their Western Conference semifinal.
Seattle got 28 points from Gary Payton and 17 points and 12 rebounds from Shawn Kemp and outrebounded the two-time defending champions 52-36.
