After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Mavericks 103-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; Mavericks' 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
