After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics handled the Rockets 114-101. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics 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.
