After Action Report

The SuperSonics demolished the Heat 119-96. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
