After Action Report

The SuperSonics demolished the Heat 126-100. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
