After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Hornets 118-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
