After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies buried the SuperSonics 132-90. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
