After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Hornets 135-87. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
