After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics rolled past the Mavericks 134-110. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
