After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics handled the Timberwolves 110-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. 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.
