After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 109-98. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
