After Action Report
In Dallas, the SuperSonics stunned the Mavericks 110-92. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. 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.
