After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Clippers 99-86. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
