After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics outlasted the Hornets 117-99. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics steamroller is in full effect right now. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
