After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Nuggets 126-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
