After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Lakers 124-75. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
