After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics upended the Hornets 125-109. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
