After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics buried the Lakers 130-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
