After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Kings 114-107. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
