After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the Hornets 109-80. The better team simply showed up tonight. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
