After Action Report

The SuperSonics held off the Lakers 103-94. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
