The SuperSonics buried the Timberwolves 119-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
