After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Mavericks 103-88. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
