After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Wizards 126-90. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
