After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics demolished the Hornets 124-97. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
