After Action Report

In Sacramento, the SuperSonics held off the Kings 108-102. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
