After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Clippers 118-116. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
