After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Lakers 109-107. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
