After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Clippers 122-83. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
