The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
