After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Clippers 122-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
