After Action Report

The SuperSonics demolished the Lakers 127-103. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
