After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the Celtics 128-103. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics steamroller is in full effect right now; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
