After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics upended the Suns 106-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. An upset for the books.
