After Action Report
The SuperSonics stunned the Clippers 120-118. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
