After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Cavaliers 115-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
