After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the SuperSonics 95-79. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
