After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics shocked the Clippers 132-125. 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. 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.
