After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Suns 98-96. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
