After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Mavericks 96-78. SuperSonics' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics steamroller is in full effect right now; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
