After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics downed the Hornets 101-90. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Hornets. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
