After Action Report
The Warriors upended the SuperSonics 123-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. The Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss; the Warriors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
