After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Hornets 115-111. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
