After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Mavericks 108-103. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
