After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Mavericks 113-111. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
