After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Magic 129-100. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 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. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
