After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Suns 117-111. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
