After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Timberwolves 112-109. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
