After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the SuperSonics 105-102. Lakers' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
