After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics edged the Hornets 117-109. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
