After Action Report
In Dallas, the SuperSonics stunned the Mavericks 120-117 in overtime. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
