After Action Report

The SuperSonics fended off the Spurs 111-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
