After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Mavericks 158-89. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
