After Action Report
The SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 122-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
