After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics snuck past the Hornets 117-113. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.
