After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Suns 116-96. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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.

What tipped it
