After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Lakers 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
