After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Lakers 137-98. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
