After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics downed the Mavericks 132-116. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
