After Action Report
The SuperSonics survived the Lakers 109-106. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The SuperSonics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
