In a track meet, the SuperSonics knocked off the Clippers 123-106. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
