After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Hornets 119-83. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
