After Action Report
The SuperSonics demolished the Hornets 128-89. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
