After Action Report
The Lakers handled the SuperSonics 99-89. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
