After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 118-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
