After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics demolished the Heat 136-107. SuperSonics torched the Heat on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
