After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Mavericks 132-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
