After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the 76ers 125-100. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
