After Action Report

The SuperSonics squeaked past the Heat 103-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; the Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. 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.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
