After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Lakers 111-109. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
