After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the SuperSonics 142-107. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
