After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Wizards 136-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' positional balance gave them a synergy edge. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
