After Action Report
The Warriors knocked off the SuperSonics 112-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Warriors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Warriors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Warriors' 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.
