After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics snuck past the Lakers 125-120 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
