After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics handled the Lakers 109-97. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
