After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Mavericks 129-126. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
