After Action Report

The SuperSonics held off the Mavericks 108-99. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
