After Action Report

In a track meet, the SuperSonics snuck past the Wizards 114-109. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
