After Action Report
In New Orleans, the SuperSonics fended off the Hornets 111-105. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
