After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics snuck past the Hornets 121-119. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; 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.
