After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics took care of the Trail Blazers 123-111. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
