After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 120-100. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 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. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
