After Action Report
The SuperSonics took care of the Jazz 115-103. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
